THE LAST ANARCHIST OUTRAGE.
Arson Added to Assassination Greek
Fire Surpassed.

FIRE surpassed.
NEW YORK, April 23.-"When all other
means fail to liberate us from the crushing
and cruel weight imposed upon labor by the
soulless capitalist and his hireling myrmid-
ons the next step is the Internal machine and
the dynamite bomb, and then the torchm is
one of Johann Mosts favorite sentiments
During the past week it was again put
i'll practice by some unknown fanatical fol
lower of the apostle of sanguinary free
dom. This time the victim was not a cruel
and souless capitalist, but an inoffensive
newspaper the NelU Yorker Zcituag, which
dared to oppose the revolutionary doctrines.
The Journal in question is clean. well
written and influential German daily, which
circulateS among the reading classes of that
nationality in New York and the neigh
boring cities. While in favor of Co
operative enterprises and similar social and
industrial reforms, it has always opposed
and with dignity and force the ultra radical
factions OF all the parties. For this reason
it has been repeatedly denounced by the
stump-speakers of the Socalistic, Nihilistic.
Communistic and especially the Anarchist
sections. Their threats were laughed at,
and not until four unsuccessful attempts
had been made to fire its building did the
proprletorS and editors believe that there
was any danger to be guarded against. The
NTH and last attempt on Sunday morning,
Just before sunrise, was q complete success
and teaches both the sufferers and the
American public of what promises TO be
brilliant il not edifying feature of future
municipal life i'll the United States.
The arson was undoubtedly effected by
one of Herr Most'S scientific property de
stroyers.' The rapidity of its spread, the
immediate intensity OF the heat evolved
and the flaming gases and vapors seen by
witnesses Indicate some powerful combna-
ton of chemicals The distinguished candi-
date for the moose has utilized applied and
theoretical chemistry and has formulated
some eight or nine combinations, all of
which are cheap and easily made, and all Of
which are warranted to work.
OF these, one depends ON the property of
metallic potassium breaking into the flames
when 1t touches water; another upon the
spontaneous combustion of phosphorus
when either hot or dissolved in some LIQUID
solvent. The latter makes destructive
compound, more formidable than Greek
fire. Either potassium or phosphorus is put
in wde-mouth vial with benzine gasoline
or biaulphide of carbon 4 vial or bottle
